He developed the farm and built the dikes in the low lands using Chinese laborers. His son, Henry (my Grandfather, also a sea captain,) took over the farm in the mid 1890s. His wife Mabel gave birth to three girls and two sons who grew up on the farm. The middle girl, Thelma, was my mother who married a Naval officer. Most summers from 1926 to the early 1940s we visited my grandparents on the farm spending a couple of months there. There were no ghosts, poltergeists or phantoms in the parlor. No one ever said anyone had died in the sitting room. All of the original family is gone now, but none died in the old house. When the wind roars in from the ocean through the Straits, the old house creaks and groans like a ship at sea, to the delight of the most devoted of ghost-story addicts. A few years ago I visited the new owners who graciously showed us the improvements they had made inside the house. Sorry, no ghost stories emerged. A visit to the museum in Sequim enlightens visitors about the history of early Dungeness and the surrounding area.

The girls were my daughter Sheryl Roberts and her friend Angel Ritualo. I was the one who shoved the door open, and it took all my strength: the desk felt like it weighed a ton. I theorized that this was a poltergeist because I'd read about how they occur when teenage girls are around. We'd also had an earlier paranormal experience with Sheryl. But there could be another explanation. After this happened, a friend told us that a ghost of a man in 19-Century clothes had been seen a few times in the parlor. Turns out a man had died in that parlor sometime in the 1870s-1880s. OK, let me clarify. The girls were my daughter Sheryl Roberts and her friend Angel Ritualo.

The story clearly stated that the windows were locked from the inside. Explaining how no one would have been able to exit through a window and lock it behind them. I hate it when people immediately look for reasons to discredit the stories of the paranormal, without thoroughly examining the evidence. In this case not even paying attention to the words written right in front of their face. Thank you Ditzy for setting the perfect example of a skeptic who is not (obviously) informed, who then makes a statement of absolute certainty. May all the ignorant skeptics of the world be haunted forever. Ditzy says:

I also have had many ghostly encounters in my life. I sense nothing in this house, and have never experienced anything. It is a fasinating historical home, and it's not open to the public. Many rumors about the house, but I don't believe anything is there. I know the current owner of the home, and I’ve been in the house a number of times.

I've heard, and researched, many stories to do with the subject. Apparentally, teenage youth are “hyper sensitive” towards spirits, or in this case, poltergeist.
